On Sunday Cheltenham Town will be hosting a Celebrity Charity match at The LCI Rail Stadium.

We will be raising much needed funds for the Midlands Air Ambulance and the British Heart Foundation, two great charities that do so much amazing work for so many people up and down the country.

I would urge families of Cheltenham and Gloucestershire to come along to support what we hope will be a great day out for the family.

Katie Price and Kerry Katona will be managing the two teams that will be made up from 30 or so celebs, five ex-Cheltenham Town players and some special guests from the Lewis family.

RK Lewis Transport have been great supporters and sponsors of the club and paid for the privilege of a game at the Stadium during our successful Crowdfunder campaign in 2016.

Richard, Karen and their sons Jamie, Ben and Jonathan very kindly decided they’d like to use the opportunity to raise funds for the two charities involved.

The Midlands Air Ambulance is extremely close to the family’s hearts having saved Ben’s life after a road traffic accident when his friend fell asleep at the wheel on the M5 motorway on returning from a holiday with the family.

The British Heart Foundation is also the club's chosen charity after the sad passing of our former vice chairman Colin Farmer just before the start of last season.

Colin did so much great work for the club during his long and successful spell on the board here and has been remembered by having the Wymans Road Stand named after him.

He is missed by everyone here at the club and I personally know how proud he was of what he and his fellow board members achieved during the club’s golden era but also in the development of the stadium and the youth academy.

On Sunday there will be pop stars, film stars, reality TV stars, soap stars, football freestylers and ex-footballers on show so well worth popping down to see some familiar faces.

Tickets are selling well but there are still seats available in the Hazlewoods stand behind the goal and in the Colin Farmer Stand opposite the tunnel.

We have a small amount of hospitality still available to sell but this will not last long so please contact me for more information john.finnigan@ctfc.com

The clubs main bar will not be open to the public without a VIP Pass although The Premier Suite will be available on a first come first served basis until full to capacity. Refreshments will be available as normal inside the ground. Volunteers will be around with bucket collections for the charities.

There will be a raffle in the bar and the celebrity’s shirts will be signed and auctioned via AMS Auctions after the game, info can be found in the Match day programme and on the club’s scoreboard on this during the match.

All profits after usual match day costs will be shared between the two charities.

Thank you to Attwoolls Camping and Leisure and RK Lewis for sponsoring the two teams match shirts.

A big thank you to Eurolink Connect who are Match sponsors on the day, they will be looking forward to see their employee Jamie Lewis strut his stuff I’m sure.

There are too many other to businesses to mention individually who have contributed to making this a successful event but all will be in the programme on the day.

I’d also like to thank all of the club’s staff and volunteers who have offered to give up their time to volunteer their services on the day to help the cause but also in the planning and preparation and detail to make sure things run as smoothly as possible.

The match will bring many people to our ground who may never have visited before, I hope they all leave with a good impression of us as a football club and will want to return to watch their local EFL league team do battle on the pitch in the near future.

Richard, Karen, Jamie, Ben and Jonathan, I hope you all have a great day that will live long in the memory, thank you for your efforts and generosity.

Let’s hope we can raise lots of cash for charity and have some fun too!!
